I don't understand why people stretch their eyes to mock Asian people. To me shape of Asian eyes has always represented wisdom since asians has always been better at nearly everything than western people. At science, medicine, health care, art, technology, sports.. list is endless.

I try not to stress about stuff I can't control but AI causes so much worries about career with art.

"Tavallinen arki lemmikkikanin kanssa sisältää kaikenlaista - kuten miten saada kani ulos lenkille mukaan, kun pitkäkorvainen sohvaperuna haluaisi jäädä katsomaan telkkaria. Pörröinen ristihuuli tuo mukanaan yllättäviäkin..."

Today was second time as I saw how bus driver didn't stop the car for black person who was waving hand as signing for bus to pick them up. I feel mad for bus driver but also frustrated for myself for not being able to react in time for that.
Shame on you, driver. Shame on you.

Funny thing has happened.
I'm self-taught comic artist and I recently met a person who studied at an expensive comic school and they've asked help from me for how to make comics/create character.
What was taught at that school for them?

🇬🇧would you get handbag or carpet withing oujia board art? I wouldn't since I'm cautious about them.

🇫🇮Ostaisitko oujia laudalla kuvioituja laukkuja tai mattoja? Itse en ostaisi sillä ne nostavat ihokarvani pystyyn.
